Mission Statement

We at the Episcopal Church of the Mediator believe the Christian spiritual journey is coming to know God's love and love God in return through Jesus Christ, and then to respond to this love out in the world. We are formed by our worship and prayer which is informed by scripture and shaped by Anglican tradition. Rooted in the Anglican tradition of worship, study, and prayer we seek to listen to God and hear how we are being called. Guided and strengthened by the Holy Spirit we strive to be a living proclamation of the good news of the gospel in our daily lives, in our formation of our children and ourselves, in our caring for one another, and in our service to the larger community.

We are a diverse congregation and we seek to reach out to everyone around us regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. It is our strong desire as a community to grow into emotional and spiritual maturity and discernment. This growth and discernment is encouraged and supported through our corporate worship, education programs for both children and adults, and opportunities for outreach and service.
